Tuesday's Golden State Warriors-Indiana Pacers NBA game was interrupted by a fourth-quarter altercation between the teams.

No punches appeared to be thrown, but Pacers center Roy Hibbert twice flung Warriors guard Stephen Curry toward the floor.

The incident started when Hibbert and Golden State forward David Lee were competing for a rebound near the basket. The two got into a shoving match, with 7-foot-2 Hibbert getting the better of the 6-9 Lee.

As that was going on, Curry led the charge in defense of Lee. At 6-3, Curry was no match for Hibbert.

"Seriously, I didn't even feel him," Hibbert told reporters of Curry. "I saw some light-skinned guy. I don't know if it was (Warriors guard) Klay Thompson or Steph Curry, I just knew there was a light-skinned guy by me."

The melee migrated to the corner, in front of fans in courtside seats.

Hibbert received two technical fouls and was ejected. Lee; Curry; Thompson, who pushed Hibbert, and Pacers forward David West each received a technical.

Hibbert said after the game that he expected to be suspended.

Indiana (36-21) was leading the Warriors (33-24) at the time, 95-85. The Pacers won the game, 108-97.

"I thought we did a good job of showing maturity, staying within our system and closing out the game," West said in an interview on the Pacers' TV postgame show.

The Indiana Pacers were involved in the most infamous of NBA brawls, the Malice at the Palace, a fight that spilled into the stands against the Detroit Pistons.
